===Characteristics of moves===
A Pokémon can only know four moves at a time, which are drawn from a pool of 559 total moves. However, no single Pokémon has access to each move; all 649 <!--{{numpkmn}}--> Pokémon have a given movelist with a limited amount of moves that relate to the type and concept of the species. The amount of moves in each movelist varies between species: some Pokémon, such as {{p|Ditto}} and {{p|Unown}}, only have one move to learn, while {{p|Mew}} can learn 139 moves as of Generation V, and {{p|Smeargle}} can learn {{m|Struggle|almost}} {{m|Chatter|any}} move via {{m|Sketch}}. Sometimes, Pokémon's movelists vary between [[evolution]]ary relatives. This often is tied to a secondary [[type]] gained or lost on evolution, but can also provide incentive to prevent a Pokémon's evolution to a higher stage. Most trios and duos have similar movelists.

Pokémon are limited in the way that they may use their moves in battle. The amount of times they can use each move is restricted by the move's [[Power Points]]. Power Points vary from move to move, but typically stronger moves have fewer Power Points than weaker moves. The amount of Power Points for each move may be altered by items such as {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}. The only move that is not affected by Power Points is {{m|Struggle}}.
